Volunteer Coaching : Approval of Andrew Cole as volunteer for Middle School Softball.V. ACTION ITEMSi. Approve Laurel HVAC Work: This quote would be for work to replace the existing HVAC units at Laurel Elementary (middle 4 rooms of the west section) for $34,500. This is not an expense included with the bond project; this expense would be paid for from PPEL funds. Motion by Crandon to approve the quote from Jensen, as presented; second by Meling. All in favor.ii. Approve New Copier Lease: Mr. Seney: As we decrease the number of buildings, we also need to decrease the equipment in said buildings. Because we are in the middle of a 5-year lease with Xerox, getting rid of copiers would cost us a significant amount of money and the other option is to store those not in use, which we don't have the room. This new lease would give us another 5-year deal at a lesser cost (however, not $1,000/month as previously quoted), but less than what we currently pay with the same number of copies (fewer machines, spread out over 3 buildings rather than 4). Motion by Cole to approve the new copier lease with Xerox, as presented; second by Crandon. All in favor.iii. Approve Asbestos Testing Service with Eocene: Mr. Seney wanted to clarify that this is an inspection and testing contract, not asbestos removal.Ecocene Environmental Group will conduct an Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) Survey of the original 1923 school building in Le Grand, the 1970s addition in Le Grand, and the original school building in Gilman. The survey will identify the location and quantity of any asbestos present in preparation for the planned renovation and demolitions. The total contract cost is $17,900, which includes a $1,500 lift rental contingency. Actual abatement work, if needed, would be a separate contract following receipt of the survey report.Motion by Cole to approve the Asbestos Testing contract, as presented; second by Bloom. All in favor.VI. ADJOURNMENT: 12:19 pm Crandon made the motion to Adjourn; second by Terrones. All in favor.Published in the Times - Republican May 6, 2026 L60084
